Francis MATHEW:

Born 8 November 1907

Home was the National Trust property, Hatchlands, in East Clandon.
Religion- he belonged to a well known Irish CAtholic family- was at the roots of his conduct. The enjoyment of good things and the generous wish to share happiness with all about him made association with him at once a pleasure and a stimulus. Those who met him across the table found that he gave nothing away and often got the better of them. But he never lost their respect, for he was a straight fighter as well as a hard hitter.
